Interactive: Choose your own Coen brothers movie adventure

Whenever there is a new movie from Joel and Ethan Coen, their fans know what that means: Somebody is about to get kidnapped.

The St. Louis Park natives have directed 16 films in their 30-year career and, ranging from the actual kid who is napped in "Raising Arizona" to the Dude being held against his will in "The Big Lebowski," abductions figure in a dozen of them. There's also a pretty good chance a new Coen movie will feature an appearance by John Goodman, who has been in six of their movies, or Frances McDormand, who has been in five, including her Oscar-winning role in "Fargo" (which is now a McDormand-less series that airs on FX on Tuesday nights).

Our "Choose your own Coen brothers movie adventure" will help you chart McDormand through her appearances, and trace a few other common elements of Coen brothers movies -- the most recent of which, "Inside Llewyn Davis," is just out on DVD.
